If dynamic filtering has been enabled by your site administrator, you have the option of filtering map features on the layers (feature groups) listed on the Map Content dialog box. Any features whose attribute data do not match the criteria you specify in the layer filter are not displayed on the map and are also unavailable for use with other functionality, including searches, the Identify tool and selections.
